The book deals with the growing integration of robotics in societies facing an ageing population, where machines appear both as practical solutions and as extensions of the human body, blurring the boundary between human and technology.

Through images produced in robotics laboratories, universities, and clinics in Japan and Switzerland, the project explores the global tensions, hopes, and transformations shaping a world where humans, machines, and environments increasingly coexist.
